Dear Sir/Madam,
All the Members of the IAS are required to submit their annual Immovable Property Returns (IPRs) of the previous year, latest by 31st January of the current year, as per Rule 16 of the All India Services (Conduct) Rules, 1968. Accordingly, IPR-2017 as on 31.12.2017 is due to be filed latest by 31.1.2018
2. In this regard, the Establishment Officer & Additional Secretary, DoP&T, vide D.O. letters dated 22.12.2017 addressed to all the Secretaries to the Government of India and all the Chief Secretaries of States/UTs has requested to issue necessary instruction to all the IAS officers working under their jurisdiction. Online filing of IPR was introduced since last year in respect of IAS officers. An IPR Module has been designed for the purpose which is already operational w.e.f. 1.1.2017. The officers also have the option to upload hard copy of the IPR by 31st January in the IPR Module.
3. It may please be noted that vigilance clearance to IAS officers for their inclusion in the offer list, empanelment, any deputation for which Central Government clearance is necessary including deputation under Rule 6(1) and 6(2)(ii) of the AIS (Cadre) Rules, appointments to sensitive posts, assignments to training programmes (except mandatory training), premature repatriation to the cadre etc is examined as per guidelines contained in DoP&T OM No. 104/33/2005-AVD.I dated 29.10.2007 and 7.9.2011. As per the guidelines, non submission of IPR-2017, as on 31.12.2017, latest by 31.1.2018 would invite denial of vigilance clearance to the IAS officers, during the year 2018.
4. In view of the above, I would be grateful if necessary instruction in this regard is immediately issued to all the IAS officers working under your jurisdiction directing them to file their IPR-2017, well within the date stipulated above. All the IAS officers are also hereby advised to file their IPR-2017, as on 31.12.2017, latest by 31.1.2018.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
